Dropbox dropped support for earlier versions of glibc, meaning that the
world's most popular enterprise distribution (the one we're working
with) is not supported anymore. At least until v8 comes out.
Also note that they only support ext4 for a filesystem. Which means
that more up to date end-user systems such as Fedora or Ubuntu, which
might have the newer glibc, might be thus unusable if they're also using
one of the newer filesystems.
Why they did it is somewhat unclear. Despite much complaining and bug
filing, they pushed through this change anyway last fall.
